Introducing the Mauser Mod 98 Sporterized, a bolt-action rifle that intertwines history, quality, and functionality. This German-made firearm, manufactured in 1939, carries a significant piece of world history and is a testament to the impeccable craftsmanship of the Mauser brand. Despite showing very minor signs of prior handling or use, the rifle is in perfect working order, boasting an excellent bore condition and a capacity of 5 rounds. The sale includes a 1917 Pattern Leather Sling.
Meticulously designed, this Mod 98 model features a blued finish, a corrosion-resistant treatment that enhances its durability and aesthetic appeal. The model carries matching numbers and eagle marks, adding to its authenticity and historical value. Although the metal appears to have been reblued at some point, it adds to the character and narrative of the piece.
The rifle has been sporterized, a process that alters the military configuration to make it more suitable for civilian sport shooting. With its 8mm Mauser caliber, it offers a balance of power and manageable recoil, setting the standard for all other military calibers. The Bishop sporterized stock, made from glossy checkered Walnut wood, has a Monte-Carlo style with a black forend, pistol grip cap, and buttplate. Minor dings on the wood stock are barely noticeable, barely detracting from the overall beauty of the piece.
The Mauser Mod 98 Sporterized is equipped with a rear fully adjustable peep-style aperture and front adjustable dovetail blade sight, ensuring accuracy in every shot. Its 23.6" barrel length and 14.25" length of pull make it an excellent choice for hunting or target shooting.
This piece is more than just a firearm. It's a statement of history, craftsmanship, and versatility. Whether you are a collector, a hunter, or a sporting enthusiast, the Mauser Mod 98 Sporterized would make a valuable addition to your collection. Experience the power, precision, and historical significance of this firearm.
